After you connect the appliance, a command line appears on your console. Configure the nodes on this command line. Follow the steps in this checklist.
❏ | Step 1: Get a template for network configuration |
❏ | Step 2: Prepare node configuration |
❏ | Step 3: Configure the nodes |
❏ | Step 4: Confirm node configuration |
Step 1: Get a template for network configuration
Make sure you have logged into your cluster. If you have not, use admin credentials to log in to your cluster.
Run the tscli cluster get-config
command to get a template for network configuration. Redirect it to the file nodes.config
.
You can find more information on this process in the nodes.config
file reference.
$ tscli cluster get-config |& tee nodes.config
Step 2: Prepare node configuration
- Add your specific network information for the nodes in the
nodes.config
file, as demonstrated in the autodiscovery of one node example. Runvim nodes.config
to edit the file.$ vim nodes.config
Note: Some of the information in thenodes.config
file may be pre-populated from earlier steps. For example, if you specified an IP address while creating VMs, that IP address might already be present in yournodes.config
file. -
Fill in the areas specified in Parameters of the nodes.config file with your specific network information.
If you have additional nodes, complete each node within the nodes.config file in the same way.Do not edit any part of the
nodes.config
file except the sections described in Parameters of the nodes.config file. If you delete quotation marks, commas, or other parts of the code, it may cause setup to fail. - Update the file
/etc/hosts
with all the node IP addresses and hostnames for the other VMs that will be part of the ThoughtSpot cluster.
Step 3: Configure the nodes
Configure the nodes in the nodes.config
file using the set-config
command.
Run $ cat nodes.config | tscli cluster set-config
in your terminal.
If the command returns an error, refer to set-config error recovery.
$ cat nodes.config | tscli cluster set-config
Connecting to local node-scout
Setting up hostnames for all nodes
Setting up networking interfaces on all nodes
Setting up hosts file on all nodes
Setting up NTP Servers
Setting up Timezone
Done setting up ThoughtSpot
Step 4: Confirm node configuration
Use the get-config
command to confirm node configuration.
Your output may look similar to the following:
$ tscli cluster get-config
{
"ClusterId": "",
"ClusterName": "",
"DataNetmask": "255.255.252.0",
"DataGateway": "192.168.4.1",
